| Abstract |
We previously reported a novel small gene, designated hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 2 (HAI-2) related small peptide (H2RSP), in the process of the search for splicing variant forms of HAI-2 by 3(')-rapid amplification of cDNA ends method [Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 288 (2001) 390]. Human H2RSP gene consisted of four exons spanning approximately 1kbp and was located in 11kbp downstream of HAI-2 gene. In this study, we cloned and characterized the mouse counterpart of H2RSP gene, which was located in 6.6kbp downstream of mouse HAI-2 gene, and analyzed the transcripts generated from both genes. Similar to human, mouse H2RSP mRNA (0.5kb) was detected abundantly in various tissues including the gastrointestinal tract, and has nuclear localization signal (NLS) in the lysine-rich region (exon 4), which was well-conserved between human and mouse genes. However, chimeric mRNA transcribed from both HAI-2 (exons 1-7) and H2RSP (exons 2-4) genes, which was found in the kidney, prostate, and placenta of human by Northern blot analysis, was not detected in mouse tissue even by a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Instead of the chimeric mRNA, a novel splicing variant lacking putative transmembrane domain of HAI-2 was found in mouse but not in human as a putative secrete form of HAI-2. These results suggest that the organization of H2RSP and HAI-2 gene complex is well-conserved, but the usage of these genes was quite different between human and mouse.
